Sell your land outright in Huddersfield

We offer an outright land sale on land across West Yorkshire, including sites around Huddersfield, Brighouse and Halifax.

An outright purchase, or unconditional sale, is a sale where we agree a price, exchange contracts and complete without waiting for planning permission. It's the quickest and most certain way to sell, but the price reflects the planning risk the buyer takes on.

  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • No pressure to decide

Is an outright land sale right for your land?

  • Owners who want a clean break
  • Executors winding up an estate
  • Sites where any hope value is modest
  • Owners who've had a sale fall through

An outright sale means you're paid on completion and the land, and its risks, become ours.

How the money works

Planning risk

Without permission, the price reflects the chance planning is refused.

Title

Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.

Vacant possession

Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.

Deposit

A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.

What happens next

  3. We put an offer in writing

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

Rules that apply in England

Land registration

Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.

When the land isn't straightforward

You think the land might get planning later

An overage clause can pay you a share of any future uplift.

A previous buyer pulled out

With an unconditional exchange, we're legally committed to complete.

Your questions answered

What is an outright land sale?

A sale with no conditions such as planning permission. Once contracts are exchanged, both sides are committed to complete on the agreed date.

When do I get paid?

Normally a deposit at exchange and the balance at completion, as set out in the contract.

Can you pull out after exchange?

No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.

Do you cover the villages around Huddersfield?

Yes. Villages between Huddersfield, Brighouse and Halifax often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
